This is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Wataru-kun’s XX Is on the Verge of Collapse,” which began airing in July 2025.

It’s especially popular among students, and some of my students who like Yuika have been singing it too! When I listened to the song, my impression was that the rhythm in the chorus is tricky.

If you try to sing before memorizing the melody, you might not know where to break phrases or where to breathe.

If you hum along while listening, you can memorize the melody, and once you can hum it lightly, you’ll be able to relax and sing more easily.

The chorus uses the same melody with only slight changes to the lyrics, so once you get past that part, it should be easier to sing.

Also, if breathing is difficult, don’t try to sing everything at 100%; try easing your voice in little by little.

When you hit a spot where you can think, “I can breathe here!” take a deep breath!

It was released on August 27, 2025, and it’s also the theme song for the anime “Pokémon: Episode Mega Evolution”! The reading is “Yū.” It’s a stylish song with a touch of traditional Japanese flavor! Since it’s a Pokémon song, it’s easy to get into, and the lyrics carry a strong message of “forging your own path,” which might really resonate with teens.

Yuzu’s songs are generally easy for women to sing as long as there aren’t low notes! This track stays mostly in the mid-to-high range, so it might be composed in a key that’s easy for just about anyone to sing.

The chorus starts on G#4 and then steps down, so if you put a clear accent on that very first note, it’ll make projecting your voice easier! The opening is crucial, so keep that momentum going as you sing!

Released in August 2025, this work by Miyuki Nagai is a minor-key kayō enka song, featuring lyrics by poet Rein Dōzan and composition by Akihiro Ōtani.

The lyrics depict a woman who dreamed of a one-night romance and now struggles with the conflict of wanting to forgive yet being unable to.

The protagonist’s feelings, likened to the confederate rose, are expressed in words that are both beautiful and heartrending, leaving a deep impression on listeners.

It’s a piece that invites you to savor the anguish and futility of love.

With its grand chorus and dramatic sound, this is a breathtaking rock ballad that squeezes the heart.

The song portrays a deep, unconditional love that declares a loved one’s tears as one’s own and vows to bear all their sorrow.

Taka’s emotionally rich vocals carry that message straight into the listener’s heart.

Included on their tenth album, “Luxury Disease,” released in September 2022, this moving track shines particularly bright among the masterpieces that embody the band’s determination to take on the world.

It might be the perfect song to send in place of words when someone you care about is feeling down.

YUUWAKU DANCEnaniwa danshi

The track “YUUWAKU DANCE,” included on the 2025 album BON BON VOYAGE, showcases the group’s signature pop brightness while also broadening its expressive range with a hip-hop-style rap in the middle.

For fans, it’s well known as a staple number to dance along to at live shows.

Despite its catchy, upbeat feel, the song actually has a surprisingly narrow vocal range.

For a Naniwa Danshi song, it leans relatively low, so women will likely need to adjust the key.

For anyone in their 30s or younger, the popular anime Nintama Rantarō is something you’ve probably seen at least once.

This song, “Yuuki 100%,” is a cover of Nintama Rantarō’s theme, and it matches perfectly with Naniwa Danshi’s upbeat vocals.

Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is far easier to sing than most recent J-pop.

You might feel it’s on the higher side, but the range is quite narrow—mid2A to mid2F#—so there’s plenty of room to lower the key.

Overall singability is top-notch, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
